Calgary Conservative MP Rob Anders says he is pursuing legal action against Ron Liepert, his rival for the newly-created riding of Calgary Signal Hill, over "defamatory claims" about voter outreach.

The two are facing off in a Conservative nomination battle for the next federal election.

Dan Morrison, a former president for the board of directors of the Conservative electoral district association in Anders' riding, has also said he will challenge Anders in the upcoming nomination vote.
